About the webinar

Parents play an undeniably important role in the lives of young athletes. Parents provide opportunities for participation, serving as role models, and helping athletes make sense of their sport experiences. The car ride home after a game or practice offers a “window of opportunity” for parents and athletes to debrief about games and practices – how they did, what they saw, and how to make sense of what happened. The ways that parents engage with their children after the sport event has the potential to impact their child’s enjoyment and ongoing participation in sport. This webinar will discuss some suggestions for messages you can share with your athletes to enhance their experience with sport.
